Timo Jansink kept Heracles in touch with sharp stops, notably denying Armando Obispo from close range around the half-hour mark.

A handball by Mauro Júnior led to a Heracles penalty. VAR confirmed the spot kick. Jizz Hornkamp converted in the sixth minute of first half stoppage time.

Substitutes swung the momentum. Luka Kulenović levelled from close range (60.), before Ivan Perišić teed up Joey Veerman to restore the lead (70.).
